form of sprains, strains, contusions, tendonitis
and bursitis.
 Soft tissue of body includes muscles, tendons,
ligaments, fascia, nerves, fibrous tissues, fat,
blood vessels and synovial membranes.
 Sports injuries reduce soft tissue function and
increase pain and functional disability which
have a negative impact on maintaining one’s
optimal conditioning.

3. Acute Injury – due to sudden trauma, fall etc
 Eg. sprains, strains, and contusions
Overuse Injury - when a certain activity is
repeated frequently, and the body doesn't have
enough time to recover in between
occurrences.
 Eg. bursitis and tendinitis

• Principal boundary marker for absorption of exogenous material
through the skin is Stratum Corneum.
ABSORPT
ION
• Fatty agents are more occlusive than water-soluble. They restrict
Trans-epidermal water loss and hence preserve hydration Stratum
Corneum. Absorption depends upon lipid solubility of the drug since
the epidermis act as a lipid barrier.
PERMEA
BILITY
• The dermis however is freely permeable to many solutes. Suspending
the drug in an oily vehicle can enhance absorption through the skin.
Because hydrated skin is more permeable than dry skin.

LITY
• Coconut oil which is a vegetable oil, used as the base for the
preparation of the Murivenna, helps to increase the permeability of
the layer of the Stratum Corneum of the skin and in turn also
increases the bioavailability of the drugs.
• Active principles in Murivenna provide Synergistic action in
relieving the symptoms of Soft Tissue Injuries.

14. Individual anti-inflammatory properties present in the
ingredient of Murivenna when mixed together, these topical
agents enhanced anti-inflammatory properties which helped
in treating soft tissue injuries.
The concepts are not discrete in Ayurveda, but
understanding, updating and interpreting them is the need of
the hour. Sensible diagnosis and apt treatment plan gives an
answer to soft tissue injuries through Ayurveda.
